Think about it, HTC and Huawei are rolling out phones with this specs today, when Galaxy SIII comes out in July its already outdated.
They did hit the market perfectly with the Galaxy SII, but haven't made it after that model. Look at Galaxy Nexus, what an outdated device, tho it got a good screen (well in fact the screen is not that good as its a Samsung PenTile display).
So, mister I really don't know anything (you), defend that one.

But they aren't actually releasing the phones today they are just announcing them,and very highly impressive they are,Im giving each one serious consideration of being my next phone.

These phone won't hit the market however for about 2 months at earliest and at that stage the galaxy s3 will be release only about 2 months later so stating it will be outdated is nonsense as it already sounds like it will have an equal or better processor and better screen,we don't even know details of camera software or lens yet or battery or memory capacity etc yet so more spectacular details may become available. Samsung it seems is doing the whole big announcement with view to having the phones available within the shorteset possible time of that announment.

Well, lets say the One X will be released in 2 months, that means April. Then three months later Samsung launches the S3. That's three months! In the world of technology that's ages, to sit there and deny this is just stupid!!

Samsung can,if they want, release the s3 as soon as tomorrow... but their intention was to wait for other competitors specs and announcements in order to improve all expectations and throw a killing specs phone. The huawai and the htc may come in 2 months, and the s3 in 4 months... but if the official announcement of the Galaxy s3 comes as soon as 2 months with all the hype and greatness that samsung and all its fans are expecting... then that will kill most of the sell for huawai and htc... because people won't buy a phone that will look outdated just a couple of months after its release with the comming S3. It's simple, samsung is playing its smart move and timing in order to create all the fuze at the proper time surrounding the s3 before the phone comes out...

Toshiba made LCD screen, this is AMOLED two totaly diferent technologies, even if samsung did make 1080p AMOLED or even AMOLED Plus in sub 5 inch category it will cost an leg and an eye, and maybe a kidney to buy phone with such screen

Maybe Samsung found a way to make one with amoled that would be awesome on a phone. But i dont see why they would make a resolution that high. It would have a pixal density of 458ppi and since the human eye cant see beyond 300ppi it would be a waste. Plus the more pixel a screen has the more it taxes the cpu and gpu which in turn uses up more battery.

dont forget july also coincides with the 2 year anniversary of the SGS1, which for people like me that bought it the day it came out, puts it on the perfect upgrade path while avoiding a direct initial fight with the i5 since thats been moved to fall. Thats been my thinking the whole time.

its 24 months, but the carriers generally let u upgrade around 20-22 months depending on the carrier. Technically since im an Emp, i get the same disount year round ,but i refuse to buy anything other than an Exynos on my next phone (unless the omap5 drops before the SGS3and is just frikkin amazing with an even more amazing phone attached to it, but thats very unlikely) which is why i never went for the crapdragon infused Hercules on Tmobile.

the first one has a chance of being true. the A5 is the sister chip to the exynos with a different GPU. :)
Id actually think it would be a 32nm 4212 variant over a quad core in the i5 though, just because there isnt much need for the extra cores.. unless apple is just playing "keep up with the jones" on the specs department.

It depends on the customers spend really,if a customer is on a plan say for 40 bucks a month and had 2 or 3 months where the bill was say 65 bucks then that can push forward an upgrade by a month or two. Also long serving bill customers can sometimes be given an slightly early upgrade.

Customers on a 20 euro per month plan for instance that never go over that bill amount are very very unlikely to get an early upgrade.

With all the quad cores launching just after MWC 2012, Samsung is losing out on the hype and awe that these new superphones are spreading across the world...Unless your're a hardcore Sammy-fan most of us will just ride the bandwagon ...

samsung did the right thing..look at everyone at mwc all fighting to get there phone noticed also these phones are not coming out for atleast another 2 months. samsung will announce the phone and release very close to the announcement and they dont need to share the spotlight with anyone else. anyone whos got the s2 will be more than happy to wait as the s2 is still not 1 years old and most people are in 2 years contract. also i would bet that the s3 will beat all these phones in screen and have the best processor like the past two phones...slowly more and more companies will hold there own events to unveil the ''blockbuster'' devices. apple already do it,microsoft and samsung are starting to do it.its just a matter of time.

If this galaxy s3 turns out true than what gimmicks beside mental programming pr triggering will apple use to get its iphone 4 and 4$ drones to upgrade to the iphone 5? (Also aside from the need to look 'cool' and 'acceptable' in society folk buying any apple products again)

Whats funny is that you guys get so mad when Apple is mentioned in a android article, yet when they are not you guys still bring them up. This looks like a great phone, no need to bring up anyone else. BTW, your played out jokes are pretty pathetic.

the galaxy s2 has great reception (except for the epic) great battery life, excellent camera, and they made it extremely stable. i had a sgs2 til i dropped it and sammy refused to fix it even if i paid for it. best phone i ever had.

OMG This phone looks great!! But I probably will have to go with the HTC ONE X since my upgrade is due soon and don't want to wait until July :/ But I am exciting to see the edge to edge display. However, I am not sure how well this well survive in a drop test. (iPhone doesn't do too well when comes to it) Anyway, this def. beat iPhone's concept iPhone 5 to the punch. If Apple does go with the rumor iPhone 5 design, there will be more law suit for us to read...

The best estimates are mid summer,Samsung is one of the main sponsors of the Olympics and it no doubt will want to advertise and broadcast alot of ads of the new galaxy s3 being 'now available' to the millions or even billions watching the games

GS3 Doesn't need a 1080p screen. That'll be like 500ppi or something crazy. Something way beyond what would ever be necessary, and all it will do is bog down the processor having to pump that out unnecessarily.

Dear phonearena autor,
Writing an article of such type is supposed to be impartial, okay? Second, I do not know what MWC have to do with samsung? Your over enthusiasm and biased writings are unexplainable for the common reader. I am not very acquainted with this korean phone company, but I can assume that the software android must be the worst in the industry, since it needs 4 (!!?) cores to run it properly. Look at Apple, and especially look at Nokia. One core and their OSes run much better. I do not understand what the fuss is all about in this case. Another yellow phone with ridiculously uncomfortable display and pathetic battery life.

Striker your claims are so stupid here i won't reply to them however I will reply to your 'yellow phone' statement towards korean phone manufacutuers and say if its what i think you meant then your racism is certainly unwanted on Phonearena

I am actually waiting for this..
yeah perhaps MWC gadgets will come out on market just before when the Galaxy III is released. but Galaxy itself has its respects and it will just be competing with apple's iphone 5 by june or july.
only if other manufacturers release something better than the specs of SGSIII and later than its release, that sammy phone is really in great danger. (but hopefully, and obviously, samsung is hard to beat.)

Damn this sounds great but I bet the screen, if they menage to put 1080p in sub 5" category which i highly doubt will be PenTile and that's a no go for me and OLED screens oversaturate colors so that's another negative in my opinion...but the positives are deep black, thiner screen tech so they can put huge bateries inside aaand i bet SGS III will have a-15 quad core and 2 gig's of ram so it will be quite hard for me to decide what to get on summer...if they put 64+ gigs of internal storage + SD slot that is a wining combo right there

1.5Ghz is not that good as more and more quad core processor will come out with higher clock speed so it will soon be surpassed. Samsung should put in at least 2GHz quad core so that no other cell phoen manufacturere can complete. If other cell phone manufacturer like HTC, LG or even Motorola can put in a at least a 2.0 GHZ quad core with the most advanced GPU in their future cell phone,then it will be an invincible phone.
